Virginia’s Colorful Autumn Foliage Dazzles Tourists
October 25,2013
Each autumn, a wooded stretch of highway high in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia attracts crowds of tourists who come to admire the colorful fall foliage on the Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park.
This couple from Maryland is enjoying the array of colors from one of the nearly 75 overlooks on Skyline Drive. The view reminds Sandra Andrade of a palette of watercolors.
“Different colored trees, it’s just like everyone is having a party. So colorful!," said Andrade.
Apart from passing cars, Bob Bryant enjoys the serenity.
“What you see and what you hear, which a lot of it is nothing, which is just a wonderful thing to hear when you live in the city," said Bryant.
Park ranger Sally Hurlbert says visitors come from all over the United States and around the world.
“They’re from China, from India, they’re from all over. South Africa. I’ve had people from the Ivory Coast," said Hurlbert.
Mihuie Lee is from South Korea.
“Here is very calm and very beautiful," said Lee.
Skyline Drive stretches 169 kilometers through the national park. New Yorker Pardees Goshtasb is awestruck by the spectacular views.
“It really makes you realize how little we are compared to the greater scheme of things. But at the same time, you know, we’re so connected with all of this," said Goshtasb.
